Your first Korean clinic visit: exactly what happens

From check-in to payment - and why waiting takes longer than the treatment.

The flow: check-in (show passport) → intake form → consultation (final quote confirmed) → numbing cream and wait → treatment → payment.

The truth about timing: the treatment itself is often 10-20 minutes. Of your 2-3 hours, most goes to the numbing-cream wait (30-60 min) and queuing. Charge your phone.

Your final price is set at the consultation. You may get upsell suggestions - 'only this today' handles it. Leaving after just the consult raises zero eyebrows.

Korean-only intake forms? Your translation app's camera mode reads them. Foreign cards almost always work, and there's no tipping.

Saunas, jjimjilbangs and alcohol are usually banned for days post-treatment. Don't book the jjimjilbang after your laser day - order matters!
